Grayson's side scored their first goals in 5 games on Monday

Leeds United manager Simon Grayson believes the Whites can still win automatic promotion from League One.

Monday's 2-1 victory at Yeovil means United remain fourth in the table with six games remaining.

Grayson told BBC Radio Leeds: "We've got a group of players that can quite easily go and win seven on the trot.

"We've won one today, we're not getting carried away with it but we know we've got a group of fixtures coming up that we can go and win."

Captain Richard Naylor scored twice at Huish Park to end a run of four successive defeats and reignite hopes of finishing in the top two.

It remains tight at the top of the table, and with all the other teams around them also winning on Monday, Leeds are still two points behind second-placed Swindon Town.

"Today we had a belief and desire to put things right," said Grayson.

"The players are wounded at times when they've underperformed and not got the results.

"It has been tough for them but hopefully it's been a major kick up the backside and now we realise what we need to do.

"I've never criticised my players about anything really, but they're criticising themselves and trying to put right what went wrong over the past four games."
